This report is about Software User Documentation. The writing style of technical documentation has a robust impact on readability, comprehensibility, and translatability into other languages. In an effort to facilitate comprehensibility and translation, the language utilized in software user documentation must be
A now widely held position in generative grammar is that a verb’s lexical entry registers some kind of semantically anchored argument structure, which in turn determines the syntactic projection of its arguments. It is believed that the phenomena falling under the label
The present thesis is concerned with the syntax of constructions variously referred to as ‘applicative’, ‘ditransitive’, or ‘multiple object’ constructions: constructions that contain arguments that transcend the traditional subject-object characterization… Contents CHAPTER ONE Introduction CHAPTER TWO Applicatives: The lay of the land
This corpus-based study of the use of expressions of future in English has two aims: to examine how certain expressions of future are used in Present-day English, and to explore how electronic corpora can be exploited for linguistic study.The expressions focused on
This master’s thesis describes the work in creating a customised optical character recognition (OCR) application; intended for use in digitisation of theses submitted to the Uppsala University in the 18th and 19th centuries. For this purpose, an open source software called Gamera
The Internet has exerted a powerful influence over the development of machine translation (MT). The enormous quantity of multilingual documents online is a valuable resource for MT to support the development of online MT systems, many of which are free of charge.
The research is based on Japanese Sinology of “Water Margin”, in which the thesis mainly focuses on three Japanese Sinologists, Ogawa Tamaki, Miyazaki Ichisada and Chubachi Masakazu. This research thus contains three parts that in each the viewpoints of them are discussed
This thesis aims to reveal the mechanisms and constraints involving in long-distance dependency formation in the static knowledge of language and in real-time sentence processing. Special attention is paid to the grammar and processing of island constraints. Several experiments show that in
Humans have the ability to recognize other humans by voice alone. This is important both socially and for the robustness of speech perception. This Thesis contains a set of eight studies that investigates how different factors impact on speaker recognition and how
This dissertation develops novel derivational mechanics for characterizing the syntactic component of human language — Tree Contraction Grammar (TCG). TCG falls within a general class of derivationally-oriented minimalist approaches, constituting a version of a Multiple Spell Out (MSO-)system (Chomsky 1999, Uriagereka 1999,
